Limiting Scope of Nationwide Court Orders

This act changes the rules for issuing nationwide court orders that can stop federal law enforcement against individuals not directly involved in a case. Now, only specific courts in Washington D.C. and the Supreme Court will have this power, potentially affecting how citizens and businesses challenge federal regulations.
Key points
